Still, more and more people are waiting to get married in or after their mid-twenties and starting families (or trying) around the early to mid-30's. So I think it may be a growing population.Melissa @MotherhoodWantdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15324948102836257695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676679728288609584.post-4649990131681160042011-04-28T16:44:39.521-05:002011-04-28T16:44:39.521-05:00I agree with your whole post, Melissa and it is in...I agree with your whole post, Melissa and it is infuriating when you think about it.

I think to myself, when exactly do I "run out of time" to achieve pregnancy? Plus, there has to be a transition period. If I suddenly decide to start when time starts to run out then I get the opposite myth....You waited to long to have kids. ::eyeroll::Melissa @MotherhoodWantdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15324948102836257695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676679728288609584.post-56946096726529653852011-04-26T02:59:16.979-05:002011-04-26T02:59:16.979-05:00I agree there is nothing more frustrating than whe...I agree there is nothing more frustrating than when you are constantly told that you are young and have plenty of time!
